We are introducing a new broadcast over at Live 365.com. This special broadcast plays only soft celtic streaming music for times when you need to relax or reflect to some quieter music. It's perfect for rainy days or late night evenings.

To create this broadcast we have taken the very best of our soft instrumental and vocal tracks from Highlander Radio. We also have plenty of room for expansion, so please recommend any of your favorite 'soft' tracks.

This broadcast plays at 64kps and is mp3pro compatible. There is currently over 7 hours of music included in the first playlist rotation! Unfortunately, it is supported in part by live365 advertising, but you can purchase a live365 account (for 12 cents a day) to remove advertising. You can also help us by ranking our new broadcast from the radio tools on live365.

This looks right up my alley. Thank you! Now to discover if it will be compatable with my dinosaur computer.

And as for suggested songs - as always - The Price of Fire by Capercaille

Thanks again for the continual updates to the site.

Compassion is the sometimes fatal capacity for feeling what it is like inside somebody else's skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too. - Frederick Buechner

If society prospers at the expense of the intangibles,how can it be called progress?

No, I just tried again. Went through the wizard setting, etc. It just keeps telling me the station is unavailable.

Do you have a broadband or modem connection. This new broadcast is only available to broadband users; otherwise it seems to be working. There were 90 people that listened to it yesterday with a total of 35 listening hours.

I cannot tell you how sad that makes me. But, we've been talking about getting on the high speed network. This may be the little incentive that pushes the decision over the edge. I'll tell my husband I had to have it.

And as to requests The music from the Ken Burns documentary on the Civil War always gets to me.

A lot of times I tend to prefer "softer" music, but alas, when I went to Live365 I was immediately greeted by a particularly high-energy commercial. What a surprise! Highlander Radio is pretty much the only Internet radio I listen to. I had forgotten what it was like to deal with the commercials.

I think I'd rather support HR, and accept the occasional song that I wouldn't have chosen for the playlist.

Nice idea though.

...But all the while I sit and think of times there were before, I listen for returning feet and voices at the door."

Yeah, the downside to the new broadcast at live365 is that it is partly supported by their advertising. You can purchase an account for a few dollars a month to remove the advertising.

We are going to try it for 3 months and see how it goes. It is very inexpensive and it might bring in some new listeners and members to our main broadcast and website.
